Seven Success Ideas From Will Smith

We can find success secrets in many places - though they aren't always secrets. Success, you see, leaves clues, and when you observe, listen to and learn from the very successful in any arena of life you will find these clues . . . if you look for them.

This morning I found them in a USA Today story about Will Smith (in part a promotion for his new movie Seven Pounds), The story, titled 'Seven Pounds,' seven keys to Will Smith's success , gives you a glimpse into the success habits of one of Hollywood's most respected leading men.

If you want to see some of these clues,read the article. Pay particular attention to his seventh point - "Leave Nothing to Chance." In this short section you will see a clue about the importance of purpose in our lives - in this case in the context of marriage.

For us to maximize our success (by whatever metric you want to use - not just monetarily), we must operate from a position of purpose. Whether as a leader, team member, peer, , or in your personal life, purpose is a powerful thing.

We'll talk about some success clues, but more importantly, I translate these clues into specific actionable ideas to help you make your next 12 months your best 12 months in my teleseminar on Dec 18th.

Consider this learning opportunity my gift to you. I hope you will join me!
